The objectives of this eBook are to use Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to provide suggestions and methods for self-care for common conditions; provide general wellness tips, including preventing pain and maintaining balance, with self-care methods that suit your body and lifestyle; and observe and understand one’s own health with knowledge of the ‘5 Elements’ and ‘9 Body Constitutions’.
The eBook provides general observations for simple self-care, not medical advice for self-diagnosis for any condition you have or think you have (for a deeper understanding of which you should be consulting a qualified Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner).
One of the ways to stay BALANCED is a lifestyle aligned with our Meridian Clock.
Recall we have 12 major meridians. During different periods of the 24 hours of each day, a different major meridian is dominant, in the sense that it carries a larger quantity of the vital energy we term ‘Qi’. The Meridian Clock shows us which meridians, with their associated organs and emotions, are most energetically active at which periods of the day:
1. 5am to 7am: Large intestines
2. 7am to 9am: Stomach
3. 9am to 11am: Spleen
4. 11am to 1pm: Heart
5. 1pm to 3pm: Small intestines
6. 3pm to 5pm: Bladder
7. 5pm to 7pm: Kidney
8. 7pm to 9pm: Pericardium
9. 9pm to 11pm: ‘Triple warmer’ (controls metabolism and involved in digestion and waste processing)
10. 11pm to 1am: Gall bladder
11. 1am to 3am: Liver
12. 3am to 5am: Lung
